OK I’m All Done With This Now

by Mrs. Chicken on March 6, 2009

I’m always complaining that I don’t get enough rest.

Well, this is Day Three of my Enforced Restitude and I am HATING it. My baby cries, I can’t pick him up My big girl needs pigtails, I have to let grandma do it. I can’t get myself anything to eat or drink.

I have not brushed my teeth since Wednesday at 4:30 AM.

I get dizzy and queasy when I stand up and my foot is full of pins and needles. The operation didn’t even FIX MY FUCKING KNEE, just revealed that I have yet another autoimmune disease.

What’s next?

Oh, I know. I know that there is a time bomb in this body of mine, just like there was one inside my dad. Why does my body attack itself? Even my CELLS have low self-esteem!

I’m done.

D-O-N-E.

Done.

I want to get up and take a shower and stand on my knee without pain. And without meds. And without help.

It’s official—this sucks and I am GRUMPY.

Hmpf!

You poor thing. :( I hope you still have some cupcakes left. I didn’t get a chance to comment on your last post, but I wanted to say how sorry I am that it’s autoimmune. That sucks and you have every right to be grumpy. xoxo

Girl, you are in a bad way. Grump all you want and please try and keep us all in the loop.

And everybody’s all “But it’s like a VACATION – you HAVE to rest!” and that makes you want to stab them really hard in the knee, with perhaps… sharp pointed objects, and see if they feel like it’s much of a vacation then. Ahem. Sorry. maybe that’s just me.

Hope you’re feeling better soon. Grump away.

Oh, hardly fair!

I have a friend with RA … it’s manageable, but an awful pain.

I love, love, love your comment about your cells.

Hugs, and bring on the grumpies!

I understand-totally.

Ok. I have to know: Which bastard are you dealing with?

So so sorry because I know what nuisance it is when the body takes aim, at itself.

Oh the outrage.
